“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend”

“Have heard a lot a good things about this place for the Scary Good Eats App.. You definitely have to have a game plan if you want anything here. Parking is not fun since you are in the heart of Rutgers. You have to hope you can snag a spot out front. The place itself is very small, no indoor seating, just order and you are on your way. Was not a cheap lunch for 2 sandwiches and some fries. Around $50 I believe. The sandwiches were good. Got the basic Cheeseteak with the Cooper Sharp. It was an exact amount of meat and cheese to fill the roll, which was soft and fresh. Was a solid Cheeseteak. The fries were very good as well. I will go back, but not out of my way. Very Good job for a new business.”

Went there twice on Spring 2021 and last night, but seems like they put more Tahini in their Baba Ganoush lately because it’s got much creamier texture and less of eggplant taste than we had last year :/ Decent outdoor sitting in their backyard on warm days, the upstairs sitting room is a unique for us non Afghans, they have place for customers sitting sections (Afghan style) and they provide tables and chairs too incase you’d like to sit and dine there.

“The store is small but exquisite
I really like this colorful little shop
The store clerk is also very warm and friendly 😆
Good food made by passionate people tastes better too
The rice that looks like its grains are actually so fragrant
Türkiye is an Islamic country
Because I can’t eat pork🐽
Meats are mainly beef, mutton, and chicken
Tried the mutton skewers and chicken and it was very delicious (because I don’t eat beef)
Yogurt and Tomato BBQ is a mouth-watering dish
Be sure to order their desserts
Ordered rice pudding and baklava
I think the pudding made from rice must be tasteless.
The result tasted so dense and refreshing😳I was really surprised
Baklava is perfect for ants with a sweet tooth
It tastes like warm mille-feuille with pistachio sauce on top
Very delicious! ! But I don’t dare to eat too much because it’s too sweet🤣
Thanks to the boss for buying us many cups of tea and Turkish coffee
It tastes great with Turkish Delight”

For main course I had vegetable casserole.”

utepia 48 Bayard St, New Brunswick Bubble Tea • $

“The most real fruit I've had in a boba drink since the time I ordered a grapefruit tea in Tokyo in 2005 and they gave me the most pure, unsweetened grapefruit juice and pulp.

I ordered the grapefruit passion four season tea (light ice, light sugar) and it's *perfect*. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or with no sweetness at all. There's tons of actual grapefruit and slices of lime.

My spouse got mango passion oolong and there's just chunks of mango and fresh mango juice in it. It's very sweet and overpowers the tea somewhat but that's just me, they're happy with it.

My only wish is that the dessert menu was more clearly posted.”

“Love, love, love this place forever and will always be my go-to spot for great vibes and drinks! Riley and Parker are such amazing bartenders and keep the vibes up in the pub at all times! The drinks are some of the best I've had in New Brunswick, and the prices are just reasonable compared to some subpar drinks I've paid more for in other pubs in the area.”

“I’m vegetarian and for some weird reason on Uber eats there is no option to switch patties. I called the restaurant. I talked to the guy named Adarsh. He insured my order, doesn’t get any beef patties and on the special request hey switch the patty to beyond patty. I usually do this when I go to this restaurant in person and this is the only place where I eat burgers because they’re exceptionally good. Also, their aloo tiki burger is outstanding. Whoever owns this restaurant Please, please please never change the thing about this place. You got great customer service, awesome food, and very hard-working people. I always proudly tip every single time I go to this restaurant. Today the employee, name Adarsh made my day. Thanks a lot!”

I had the shrimp and garlic sauce with the very distinctive Dominican white rice. The flan was to die for. The service was impeccable. I will be going back often. Prices were also great. There is nothing wrong with this establishment and I am very picky!!!!”

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend”

“Have heard a lot a good things about this place for the Scary Good Eats App.. You definitely have to have a game plan if you want anything here. Parking is not fun since you are in the heart of Rutgers. You have to hope you can snag a spot out front. The place itself is very small, no indoor seating, just order and you are on your way. Was not a cheap lunch for 2 sandwiches and some fries. Around $50 I believe. The sandwiches were good. Got the basic Cheeseteak with the Cooper Sharp. It was an exact amount of meat and cheese to fill the roll, which was soft and fresh. Was a solid Cheeseteak. The fries were very good as well. I will go back, but not out of my way. Very Good job for a new business.”
